It Was My Dream: The Soviet Pilots Of The Spanish Civil War
(C'etait Mon Reve)
Daniel Kunzi
Switzerland 2008 / 66 Mins
On
7 November 1936, Madrid is about to fall into General Franco's hands.
Suddenly, a Russian squadron appears above the city. Supported by the
International Brigades, they manage to rebuff the attack.
This film, based on personal testimonies- some of them never before made
public- tells the secret story of Soviet pilots sent to fight in the Spanish
civil war. It centres on the Swiss aviator Ernst Schacht, commander of
a bomber squadron.
On his return to Moscow, he is honoured by Stalin... and later executed
on Stalin's orders following the German attack on the USSR- a fate shared
by several of his comrades-in-arms'.
Followed by discussion with Daniel Kunzi, Filmmaker, Chaired by Dr Willy Maley (University of Glasgow).
